Am i the only one who has a child who will out of nowhere just start getting things? Eliza has been doing this over the last few months. She went from not being able to know her letters in a snap, to knowing about 8 of them. She is also learning what sound the letters make, and was able to tell me more than one of them the other day.
Math has always been a strong suit for her, but she is learning more and more the concepts that are used in figuring out addition and subtraction.
One place she could still improve are her social skills. This was the main reason that i wanted to wait and send her to Kindergarten just after her sixth birthday. With all of the things that she has been learning so well, i was starting to question my decision. Until i see the captain of the mean girls show up.
Oh yeah, it is that bad. If you have seen the movie "Mean Girls" with Lindsay Lohan, you know what I am talking about. Unfortunately, this character is one that i see reflected in Eliza sometimes.
But i think she is getting it. Twice she has chose to apologize to the person without being asked to. And once, she even prayed for forgiveness for treating someone so badly.
Having a child who is having their feelings hurt is no fun. Eliza has been on the receiving end more than once. But I think it is even worse when your child is the one doing the hurting. Praise God that she is learning that this is not how we are suppose to treat each other.
